Malikai Miller Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Malikai Miller posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Moore over Deer Creek on Friday. Miller rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 53 yards.
Miller is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Norman on Friday. When Miller last faced the Tigers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
